A story The Eagle-Gazette published this past week should serve as a sobering reminder that getting behind the wheel of a car isn't something to be taken lightly.

WBNS-10TV's Dom Tiberi talked to Lancaster High School seniors about his family's experience. His daughter, Maria, was killed in a crash, possibly while distracted somehow. Distracted driving isn't just texting or talking on the phone; it can be anything from eating to changing a radio station. It's amazing what drivers think they can accomplish while "also" driving.
